Place ingredients in Vitamix. Turn slowly to high and use the damper to push ingredients into the blade. Keep doing this until it gets creamy and almost all of the almonds are pureed. It's okay to have some almond chunks. I thought they were good.

Serve on an english muffin. MMMM MMMMM. Tasted like pumpkin pie!

I am assuming you could do the same thing without a Vitamix or commercial blender.
Try using 1/2 cup almond butter and 1/2 cup pumpkin puree and go from there. The almond butter may have sweetners depending on the brand you purchase. Instead of adding the dates, just add the maple syrup. Stir all ingredients togetether.
